| Fogle being arrested. |
A letter in Russian, which Fogle carried, stated, according to the Daily Mail:
Dear friend
We are ready to offer you $100,000 [£65,000] and discuss your experience, expertise and co-operation, and the payment may go much higher if you are ready to answer certain questions.
For long-term co-operation we offer $1million [£650,000] per year.
The recruit is instructed to use an internet cafe to ‘create a new Gmail mailbox which you will use only for staying in touch with us’
After his arrest, he was taken to the FSB headquarters at the Lubyanka, in Moscow, and later handed over to the US embassy in keeping with diplomatic protocols.
Stinks to high heaven. This kit is akin to something you'd find advertised on the back pages of a child's magazine.
ReplyDeleteMost of that stuff is lame. He didn't even have a smart phone. The CIA must be feeling the effects of printing too much money.
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like to fly under the radar then a cheap phone with a throw-away sim and prepaid minutes is the way to go.
DeleteHmmmmm, apparently the only difference between the pockets of a CIA agent and a libertarian-survivalist is envelopes with thousands of Euros.
ReplyDeleteEven ABC News is saying it smells funny...

Eliminate #5 & #12 and the "spy kit" looks to be the same as it was in the 60's.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost cartoonish.
